Blame your Doctor

For not putting you on the right medication. Sounds like a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder to me. The IT business seems to be a magnet for people with OCD. That's how I survive in this business. My users think I'm some kind of Goddess because I don't stop until the problem is solved. In reality, I'm too darned obsessive to give up. But, of course, I'm probably the only one, eh?

Maybe time to take a long vaca! I know how you feel, I guess the finer details of IT have a way sticking with you, if you know what I mean. I've been on projects, where for a period of time I dream about problems, politics, and solutions... it's really not a healthy scenario =). Somtimes when you are so far into the details and you're dealing with company politics, it can get to ya; while this is quite normal in stressful situations, it's not healthy.

You really should have a work-life balance, which means you're not stressing about work when U R at home. It sounds like a good time to save some money, build up your savings and start considering another line of work...

Good luck to you. Since you're a CIO you probably shoudn't have to get too far into the details... start relying on your experts and relax. And don't hate yourself, life is to short man!
